C U @ 8 [Kindle Edition]

I just finished reading the book. I could not put it aside until I unfolded all adventures of two special women, friends forever from ever. I also have a friend like Suki, whose imagination and adventurousness got two of us into lots of funny and not so funny troubles when we were young. I suppose, this is what I value the most in this book- it took me back to my youth and proved that youth is never over if your crazy friend is around. After all, this is what keeps us alive and sound.
The plot of the story is super modern (probably a couple of decades later the book will need asterisks explanations at the bottom of pages- "Skype", "Facebook"- a phenomenon that made a world be really small. Or, "CU@8"- Abbrevish, the world's most compact language). Two middle age women (Fenella and Suki) both with their own life luggage start a virtual (but a very real indeed) hunt for an ideal man for Fenella's older daughter.
Once you start reading you will not stop smiling, laughing, wondering. It is a very entertaining and easy read, however, when the book is finished your thoughts come back to it again and again.

I should say I received a copy of the Kindle edition of this book from the author.

I really enjoyed this book as my title says. It was laugh out loud funny in some parts. The characters of Fenella and Suki are very true to life, I know women like these two. The writing of these characters is spot on, nothing about them rings false.

Suki is always getting Fennella involved in hair-brained schemes. Her latest is that Fenella interview potential boyfriends for her 20-something daughter Kristy. As can be imagined, hilarity ensues and unthought of problems crop up.

I am a woman over 50 and I enjoy reading fiction about women close to my age. This book is on my most-favourite books list and I think it'll be there for a long time to come.

Two 50 year old single mothers ... two adult problematic children with too much drama and issues in their adult lives ... two worrisome moms who come to the rescue ...

Fenella Fisher and Suki Rabonowitz have been lifelong BFFs since the age of two. When their two eldest children find their adult lives are in a mess, the worried moms hatch a plan to sort out their children's lives.

Suki's son Josh has been known to be a liar, owes money to several people, is a cocaine addict and possibly had an affair with a woman in Cornwall, UK which resulted in a pregnancy.

Fenella's twenty-eight year old daughter Kirsty is an artist who has a needy streak that requires asking her mother "the relationship guru" for advice about her relationships. Her latest on again / off again boyfriend Grant has dumped Kirsty and left her in a tizzy.

Suki and Fenella hatch a crazy plan to find Kirsty a man on an internet dating site that leads the two ladies on an adventure filled with crazy antics. They also try to solve Josh's problem with the possible birth of his child in the UK.

Can the worried moms fix their wayward kids' lives?
